Foo Fighters- 'Aurora'
Technology has really had it in for me the last three weeks or so, and it's thrown the song of the week schedule a little of kilter, but who cares. I was going to wait until Monday to post another song just for the sake of routine, but this track came on my Ipod this morning and thought it can't wait. Picking a great Foos song isn't too hard, but I thought I'd avoid the obvious choices of 'Everlong'/'My Hero'/ 'All My Life' etc and go for the less well-known 'Aurora' from the album 'There Is Nothing Left To Lose.' Both heartfelt and intense, epic in the chorus and understated in the verse, the track has a great dynamic to it, and the passion of the song can really be felt, especially when played live (see the 'Everywhere But Home' DVD for my favourite version). Dave Grohl's talent for songwriting really comes through, and the whole band put in shining performances. Well worth a listen.
